Matcha is a finely ground green tea made from shade-grown leaves, traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. Unlike regular steeped tea, matcha uses the entire leaf, delivering a higher concentration of antioxidants, caffeine, and L-theanine—an amino acid known for promoting calm, focused energy. Its vibrant green color comes from elevated chlorophyll levels, brought out when the leaves are carefully stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder. Enjoy matcha whisked with hot water, blended into lattes, or added to smoothies and recipes for a clean, sustained energy boost.
